How Black Was Our Sabbath

Black Sabbath are the ultimate heavy rock band. They have sold millions of albums worldwide, with ardent fans across the globe. Dave Tangye and Graham Wright were in the crew during the seventies, the bands heyday, and have the stories to prove it. For the first time they cover, in detail, the early days of the group, including a certain gig in the Scottish borders, where they were almost beaten up by the local farmers. As the Sabs rose to fame and notoriety, touring Europe, Australia and North America, delighting fans and disgusting law-abiding members of the public, incidents of bad behaviour stack up alarmingly. Full of new information, How Black Was Our Sabbath is a real Spinal Tap story, a warm, funny, poignant tribute to four mates from Birmingham who became the biggest heavy rock band in the world.The first insiders book about Black Sabbath, this is funny, revealing, and should become a rock classic like Hammer of the Gods. Sabbath are still massively popular, still record and tour. Contains rare and never-before-published photographs. The massive success of The Osbournes has created a whole new market of readers who will want to see what Ozzy was like in his pre-Sharon days (just as mad-but-endearing).
